Aargau Literature Prize
The Aargauer Literaturpreis was founded in 1978 by the Aargauische Kantonalbank on the occasion of the 175th anniversary of the canton of Aargau , and until 2006 it was awarded every two years by a jury to an author with reference to the canton of Aargau. It was endowed with 25,000 Swiss francs. In 2007 the Aargauer Kantonalbank decided to forego the award of the award.
